Falling Down
Ezra sits. Ezra crawls. Ezra stands. Ezra falls down.
His big head almost always hits first for his big head his heavy. And the big head being proportionally bigger than the body, and it being wider than the span from back to chest, it leads the way down to the floor. And even when the body hits first the head usually whips fast to the ground to give a quick smack to the face or back of head that can shock me.
Most of the falls now are when crawling or sitting on the hardwood floor. The falls are the result of Ezra slipping and falling fast on the floor. …On the hardwood floor, one can see the head bounce. Thankfully, this doesn’t happen often, or I would probably be buying Ezra a helmet, which given the fact he has a healthy skull could be a bit much. The body needs to learn to take a knock on the head from slipping or stumpling because after a slip or a stumble Ezra is a little more careful performing the same maneuver and more aware of gravity.
